Larry Jeddeloh – Why Israel May Be Very Serious About Attacking Iran – MIR (August 27, 2012) Posted by John on August 28, 2012

The following is a direct quote from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressing the Knesset (Parliament):”Understand, the dominant factor that motivates these events (rocket attacks) in Gazais not the Palestinian issue. The dominant factor that motivates these events in Gaza is Iran.
Gaza equals Iran.
Where do the missiles come from? From Iran.
Where does the money come from? From Iran.
Who trains the terrorists? Iran.
Who builds the infrastructure? Iran.
I have said this many times; Who gives the orders? Iran.
Gaza is a forward operating base for Iran.
I heard some people say that a third or fourth rate terrorist organization is acting
against a million citizens in the state of Israel. That is not true. Iran is operating against us.
I hope that if not all, at least some members here and the public understand that the terrorist organizations in Gaza-Hamas and Jihad, as well as Hezbollah in Lebanon-are taking shelter under an Iranian umbrella.
Now imagine what will happen if that umbrella becomes nuclear.
Are you ready for this? I am not ready for this! And any responsible leader understands that we cannot let this happen. A prime minister of Israel cannot entrust the ability to act against this threat to others. Our enemies must know that, at the end of the day, Israel will not accept an Iranian base in Gaza. Sooner or later, Iran’s terror base in Gaza will be uprooted.” (1)
